KeyError '_selected_servers'

[z3ntu]

Hi, I've just tried installing with this in a fresh virt-manager VM with archiso 2021.06. The installation failed once (don't remember the exact error anymore) and when retrying with archinstall --config /var/log/archinstall/user_configuration.json it failed with this error:

I have chosen server profile and selected only sshd (nr 7) in the prompt, it looks like this wasn't properly saved in the json?

Files: install.log user_configuration.json

I am having this same issue. I have the profile set to server and I assume based on the prep function it is supposed to prompt you to select some of the server options.

https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/blob/master/profiles/server.py

But it appears it is not doing that and it tries to select from an empty list of selections.

and the log file seems to reflect that as well

Installing network profile Profile(server.py)
Now installing the selected servers.
'_selected_servers'

Seems like I missed implementing selected_servers key in config

[RustyRaptor]

It just occured to me that I didnt run pacman -S archinstall before running so it might be an old version that came with this ISO. I got this ISO a week or so ago. So I am running again. I may need to check what version of archinstall i am running.

[RustyRaptor]

Yeah ok i see now in the readme theres this section i did not follow. https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall#using-a-live-iso-image

[RustyRaptor]

I am trying again after checking out v2.2.0

[RustyRaptor]

Ok heres a status update. Seems to persist after checking out 2.2.0

fixed in #578, either use "servers": ["nginx", "postgresql", "sshd"], in config, else it will be prompted if servers is not present in config

[skerit]

I just had this problem again. The server selection wasn't saved to the config file, and archinstall didn't ask for servers to select one installing with said config file. Adding the "servers" entry to the config file manually fixed the issue.

[svartkanin]

@skerit this isn't fixed yet, but the PR I referenced this issue in will fix it when it gets merged and then released :)

[Torxed]

I'll re-open this and let #1434 close it when it's ready to avoid confusion :)

[svartkanin]

@Torxed we can close this as it should be resolved with the new profile manger
